Subject: [Carbon_Net] trees and other plants

Does anyone know of a source of info about which trees and other plants
absorb the most carbon? Or of anyone working on this? Also, are there
microbes that absorb more carbon than others? I am curious about this.

Also, if the climate begins to warm, won't we need to plant different
trees to match? Are there quickly growing trees that could be used?

I am thinking in terms of methods to absorb the carbon already in the
atmosphere, which will take decades to dissipate if left on it's own.
Hope someone else here has thoughts along this line.
